From an Oct 2025 testimony: Global Gangsters: Hezbollah’s Latin American Drug Trafficking Operations.<ref>"[https://www.hudson.org/drug-policy/global-gangsters-hezbollahs-latin-american-drug-trafficking-operations-marshall-billingslea Global Gangsters: Hezbollah’s Latin American Drug Trafficking Operations]." By Marshall Billingslea, ''Hudson Institute'', Oct 21, 2025</ref>
Marshall Billingslea testified before the U.S. Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control in October 2025, shedding light on Hezbollah’s drug trafficking and money laundering operations in Latin America, which fund its terrorist activities.
Key Points from Billingslea’s Testimony:
1. Hezbollah's Presence in Latin America:
* Hezbollah has been active in Latin America since the 1990s, starting with terrorist attacks in Argentina, such as the bombings of the Israeli Embassy (1992) and the AMIA Jewish Community Center (1994).
* Its "Unit 910" (External Security Organization) has expanded its infrastructure across the region, initially in Colombia and Paraguay, particularly in areas with weak governance and corruption.
2. <u>Initial Business Ventures</u>:
* Hezbollah established businesses, such as retail stores and trade-based money laundering operations in cities like Ciudad del Este (Paraguay) and Sao Paulo (Brazil), benefiting from lax enforcement on the border.
* Over time, it became involved in narcotics trafficking, starting with the smuggling of cocaine in charcoal, which was used to evade detection.
3. <u>Drug Trade Expansion</u>:
* By the mid-2000s, Hezbollah began forming alliances with Latin American drug cartels, especially in Colombia. The group trafficked cocaine through Venezuela and Syria, facilitating weapons exchanges with groups like the FARC.
* In 2015, authorities became more concerned about the scale of cocaine trafficking, particularly via Hezbollah-linked operations in Colombia.
4. <u>Financial Impact</u>:
* By 2018, it was estimated that as much as 30% of Hezbollah’s funds, around $200 million a year, came from Latin America. This revenue was crucial to the group’s operations, especially as financial support from Iran became more uncertain.
5. <u>Venezuela as a Hub</u>:
* Under the leadership of Hugo Chavez and later Nicolas Maduro, Venezuela became a critical base for Hezbollah, providing not only a safe haven but also logistical support for its operations. Hezbollah used Venezuelan passports and documents to facilitate operatives’ movements and identity concealment.
* Venezuela's regime cooperated with Hezbollah, awarding contracts to Hezbollah-controlled businesses and aiding in the distribution of false identification documents.
6. <u>Recent Developments (Oct 2025)</u>:
* Recent reports indicate that Hezbollah has increasingly relied on Venezuela as a safe haven, with 400 Hezbollah commanders reportedly ordered to relocate to Latin America, fearing targeting by Lebanese authorities.
<u>Conclusion</u>:
Billingslea stressed that Hezbollah’s expansion into the Latin American drug trade was a direct result of the group’s diminishing infrastructure in Lebanon and the increasing pressure on Iran. The Venezuelan regime has become a key player not only in facilitating Hezbollah’s drug operations but also in providing a refuge for its operatives. Moving forward, Billingslea warned that Hezbollah is likely to continue its reliance on Latin America to fund its terrorism, particularly through the drug trade.
This testimony emphasizes the growing importance of Latin America, particularly Venezuela, in Hezbollah's international operations and its funding mechanisms through drug trafficking.
Hezbollah-Venezuela (Chavez/Maduro) Connection.<ref>[https://www.jfeed.com/news-israel/hezbollah-venezuela-connection The Hezbollah-Venezuela Connection: What You Don't Know]. ''JFeed'', Jan 6, 2025.<br>
For over 20 years, Hezbollah has built a sprawling terror network on Venezuela's Margarita Island, just 1,200 miles from Florida, with training camps, drug trafficking operations, and Iranian military support under the protection of the Maduro regime.:</ref>
{{Cquote|
For over two decades, Venezuela has served as a critical outpost for Hezbollah in the Western Hemisphere, with reports detailing the group's entrenchment on Margarita Island and ties to the former regimes of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro.
U.S. intelligence assessments and media investigations describe this presence as evolving from fundraising networks among the Lebanese diaspora in the 1980s to sophisticated operations involving training, smuggling, and financial schemes by the 2000s. Margarita Island, once a bustling tourist spot, has been highlighted as a primary hub, surpassing even the Tri-Border Area in Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay for Hezbollah's regional activities.
Training Camps and Iranian Support.
Allegations of Hezbollah-operated training camps on Margarita Island surfaced as early as 2011, involving paramilitary instruction for recruits from Venezuela and other Latin American countries.
These facilities reportedly include political indoctrination, weapons handling, and drug-related operations, all under the protection of the Venezuelan government. Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has been implicated in providing [[logistics]], [[weapon]]s, and instructors on Venezuelan territory, including collaborations with local militias known as colectivos. Some recruits have been sent to Iran, including to Qom for ideological training, or to Lebanon. Reports also note that Hezbollah operatives and fighters have relocated to Venezuela following Israeli strikes in Lebanon.
Illicit Networks: Drugs, Money, and Gold.

Hezbollah's operations in Venezuela are deeply intertwined with narcoterrorism, including partnerships with the Cartel of the Suns, a network allegedly involving Venezuelan military officials, and dissident factions of Colombia's FARC. Activities include cocaine trafficking and money laundering through trade-based schemes, often utilizing duty-free zones on Margarita Island. Additionally, gold-for-arms deals have been reported, with Hezbollah and Iran exploiting Venezuela's illegal gold trade to circumvent international sanctions and finance their activities.
A key enabler of these operations has been the issuance of Venezuelan passports and identification documents. Between 2010 and 2019, more than 10,000 such documents were provided to individuals from Lebanon, Iran, and Syria, often through networks linked to the regime. Figures like former Vice President Tareck El Aissami, accused of Hezbollah connections, have been tied to this system, which provides cover for operatives using fake identities. Earlier intelligence from 2013 documented similar patterns dating back to 2008–2012.
The Nassereddine Network and Regime Ties
At the center of these activities is the Nassereddine family, a Lebanese-Venezuelan clan with deep connections. Ghazi Nassereddine, a former diplomat, and Abdallah Nassereddine, a businessman based on Margarita Island, have been accused of overseeing indoctrination, training, and smuggling operations. This network, which began under Chávez and grew under Maduro, has benefited from state protection, allowing Hezbollah to operate with relative impunity.
Strategic Implications and Proximity Concerns.
Margarita Island's location, approximately 1,200 miles from Florida, has amplified U.S. concerns, with officials labeling Venezuela not merely as a failed state but as a "staging ground" for Iranian and Hezbollah activities in the Americas. This positioning is seen as enabling potential threats through forward operations, including the use of duty-free zones and state-backed infrastructure.}}

Article: ' ‘Starvation’ in Gaza. Who's to blame?
In the Middle East, war is conducted not only with bullets and missiles, but also with pictures. The latest are pictures of allegedly starving children in Gaza distributed by Hamas and its enablers with the intention of blaming Israel for delaying, even denying entry of food trucks into the strip.
Such pictures are gobbled up and distributed to the world without question by media that are always critical of Israel and hardly critical at all of forces that seek to destroy the Jewish state.
Perhaps no nation in history has cared about preserving human life more than modern Israel. It even treats its wounded enemies in Israeli hospitals. It releases hundreds of convicted terrorists in exchange for a handful of captured Israeli soldiers. It distributes leaflets and makes phone calls urging civilians to evacuate areas inhabited by Hamas terrorists before those areas are attacked. What other nation does that?
The New York Post reports “Col. Abdullah Halabi, from the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories, told reporters last week that around 1,000 truckloads of aid remain undelivered ‘due to a lack of cooperation from the international community and international organizations.'” Predictably, others are blaming Israel, which plays into Hamas’ hands.
The problem for Israel is that it has defeated Hamas, but Hamas won’t surrender. The terrorist organization is the main impediment to getting food to those who need it, but the seeds of today’s disaster began in 2005 when Israel unilaterally disengaged from the Gaza Strip by dismantling all 21 of its remaining settlements. It didn’t take a prophet to predict the vacuum would soon be filled by terrorists eager to use Gaza as a base for attacking Israel.'

'You don’t need to read the latest FBI hate-crime statistics to know that there has been a surge in antisemitism in the United States since Oct. 7, 2023. The evidence that a global wave of Jew-hatred was making itself felt was plainly evident on the streets of American cities, and especially on college campuses, where mobs were chanting for the destruction of the one Jewish state on the planet and for terrorism against Jews everywhere. There was also the series of violent murderous attacks on Jewish targets, as well as the mainstreaming of blood libels about Israel and Jews in legacy media outlets.
But a deep dive into the report issued by the FBI this week for crimes reported in the year 2024 confirmed for anyone not already convinced that antisemitism is spiking. Of all the crimes based on religious prejudice that year, some 69.1% were against Jews. Though Jews have been the leading victims of such attacks for as long as the FBI has been issuing statistics, this was an increase over previous years.'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a press conference with international media to address the "campaign of lies" against the Jewish state.

The IDF has confirmed the elimination of Anas al-Sharif — a Hamas operative working under the cover of a “journalist” for Al Jazeera in Gaza. The military released extensive intelligence proving his role within Hamas’s military wing, including official personnel rosters, terror training course lists, internal phonebooks, and salary records — all tying him directly to the group’s operations...
Who told the truth?
Some media, however, reported the story accurately. The UK’s Telegraph ran the headline, “Israel Kills Al Jazeera Journalist Accused of Leading Hamas Terror Cell”, and cited the IDF’s statement that “a press badge does not grant immunity for terrorism.” Germany’s Bild went further, publishing: “Terrorist Disguised as Journalist Killed in Gaza” and detailing his operational role in Hamas.

Report. Netanyahu rejects partial deal with Hamas.
Former Hostage Shlomi Ziv speaks out: “I was held captive by a Hamas member posing as a journalist”. He criticized Al Jazeera for defending a Hamas operative posing as a journalist - Anas al-Sharif, revealing his captor’s similar deception. The IDF exposed the operative’s role in coordinating attacks, raising concerns about media outlets employing terror supporters.
Ziv, who was abducted during the October 7, 2023, Nova music festival attack, revealed that one of his captors in Gaza operated under the guise of a journalist. “I was held by a journalist in captivity and his father was a Doctor!!!!!!!!” Ziv wrote, highlighting how Hamas members use civilian professions to mask their terrorist activities.
Ziv also targeted Israeli MK Ayman Odeh, who expressed sorrow over Al-Sharif’s death, accusing him of supporting terrorism. “Everyone is a Hamas operative, there are no journalists there who aren’t Hamas because they would kill him for telling the truth,” Ziv stated. He vowed, “I will act with all my strength to throw you out of the Knesset, my word, I promise you, you terror supporter.”
Ziv's captor was Abdallah AlJamal who also worked for Ramzy Baroud's "Palestine Chronicle."

Israel has proof refuting Hamas claims of starvation in Gaza in an organized media campaign. Report published by COGAT reveals that claimed victims of hunger died of pre-existing conditions; probe alleged Hamas falsifying figures in campaign to disparage Israel in the eyes of the world.
Hamas has been attempting to spread a false narrative to disparage Israel in the eyes of the world.
The report states that there is are significant inconsistencies between the number of hunger-related deaths in Gaza and the actual figures documented and identified, including on social media.
Since early in July and while negotiations for a ceasefire were being held, Hamas claimed an increasing number of deaths linked to malnutrition. Until June, Hamas had reported 66 cases since the start of the war, but just one month later, it said 133 had died because of a lack of food.
Despite the reported rise in such cases, Hamas provided no identifying information about the deceased, as it had done previously. On July 19, for example, Hamas claimed 18 people died of malnutrition and on July 22, the terror group claimed 15 more had died.
But a review of social media posts revealed only a small number of deaths that could be tied to hunger. This discrepancy casts doubt on the credibility of the Hamas claims.
An Israeli probe into the cases revealed that most of the deceased had suffered from pre-existing medical conditions that had nothing to do with food shortages. Some of them had even been treated in Israeli hospitals before the war.
The report says Hamas has falsely claimed that 4-year-old Abdullah Hani Mahmad Abu Zarka, whose photo had been circulating on social media in recent weeks, was suffering from starvation, but an investigation by COGAT revealed he was suffering from a hereditary genetic disorder as were other members of his family and had left the Strip with his mother to receive treatment in Jerusalem's Al-Makassed hospital, four months before the war.
Another example presented in the report was the death of 27-year-old Karim Khaled Aljamayal, who Hamas said died of starvation. The investigation revealed he had been suffering from a degenerative muscular disorder since early childhood and was paralyzed. His death the report claims, had nothing to do with the alleged famine in the Strip.
Israel insists that there is no famine in Gaza, quoting health experts.

Elimination of Hezbollah's Chief of Staff 11.21.25.
The IDF conducted a targeted aerial strike in Beirut's Dahiya quarter, assassinating Haytham 'Ali Tabataba'i, Hezbollah's de facto chief of staff, in an operation dubbed "Black Friday." Coordinated with the US and consistent with the ceasefire, the strike targeted Tabataba'i for directing terrorist activities and rebuilding Hezbollah's capabilities. Israel assesses no retaliation from Hezbollah is likely, and officials clarified it as routine enforcement without plans for broader escalation in Lebanon. Prime Minister Netanyahu stated Tabataba'i's hands were "soaked in the blood of many Israelis and Americans," emphasizing Israel's commitment to preventing Hezbollah's rebuilding.<ref>[https://www.israelhayom.com/2025/11/23/this-is-how-hezbollahs-chief-of-staff-was-eliminated/ This is how Hezbollah's chief of staff was eliminated].<blockquote><small>
